Again, Hayom prove his worth to be tne next Indonesian star.
he won Indonesia International Challenge.
This title is his 4th titles this year.
This year, Hi has won Banuinvest International Challenge, Tarakan National Circuit, Australian Open Grand Prix, and Indonesia International Challenge. Go Hayom !!

I think it's not the most important. He is still 20 yo. What we can hope from him is keeping his good work for GP tourneys at least for the most one year. Gaining experience, winning mentality, type of play, type of strategy and others. After that, just believe that he can do further in higher type tourneys...

..then what is??..Sure he is still 20 yrs old, but so are many of his other teammates/compatriots. IMO, with his resume, he could start playing regularly in GP, GP Gold or SS type tourneys. Do you know which tourney Taufik was already playing in when he was 20 yrs young?? Sure, you can expand & test Hayom's talent, experience, winning mentality, type of strategy for at least 1 more yr, playing in International Challenge, GP or National Circuit type tourneys. But what's next after that 1 yr ends? Are we expecting him to keep playing in those type of tourneys? Or are we expecting him to move up the ladder and challenge the big boys in GP Gold and SS type tourneys??.....Sooner or later he has to move up and face stiffer competitions..that's the bottom line.

Agree with ctjcad. I reckon it's time Hayom try out higher level competittions. Already won INA Challenge 4 times. He shouldn't get too comfortable at this level. Otherwise the disapointment when losing will become unbearable. IMHO, Hayom possessed enough skills to compete with the best players. He just need experience and able to control his emotion once in a while. All the best to Hayom.

yapz.....
actually, he has got one GP tourney and 2 International challenges.
I think, he has to get another 2-3 GP tourneys first and gain another experiences in GP Gold tourneys. Like what he had done. He joined some international challenges before winning such tourney. and also joined some GP tourneys (may be just 2-3 GP tourneys) until he could win it in Australia GP. Now, he will join also in Taipei GP Gold (higher rank competition), let us hope he can gain another experience.

At this year, he beats some top 20 players. Also top 10 players.

I think Hayom got:
1 GP title
1 International Challenge title (not 2)
1 International Series title

I heard about his amazing performance in Australian Open this year, he beat many of the top seeds even though he was un-seeded, so he definately has the potential to become a great player. Most probably the next Taufik Hidayat if he continues his work. :P

It was amazing how he also beat Andrew Smith, Chan Yan Kit and his compatriot Yunus and won the MS title. Very nice.
